Chapter 557: A Night Visit
This kind of random climbing method has always belonged to the trick of the poor dagger. If you use it casually, there will be no rules and the world will be messed up. Yan Hong's statement today can be regarded as drawing a sword and sharpening his blade, and he is determined to take advantage of the situation to suppress the locality. Whoever dares to go against him, he is shameless and does not pay attention to the rules, and all kinds of despicable means dare to be used, if you dare to be my way, I will kill you!
As for the family, the wang family, and the family heritage, Yan Hong is afraid of a ghost? He was originally an eagle and a dog, but not an upright and loyal minister. Everything about him did not come from the reputation of the government and the opposition and the recommendation of Shilin, but completely from the favor of the Son of Heaven and the protection of his own family. And the Yan family also relied on currying favor with the Son of Heaven to achieve the status of the first assistant of the cabinet, under the Ming Dynasty, and above tens of millions of families. As long as the emperor is happy, the entire Yan family will be able to remain rich forever.
No matter how intricate those families were, no matter how powerful they were, they were meaningless in Yan Hong's eyes. The emperor needs money, and the sea can make money, and anyone who stands on this opposite side will not be able to get along with the emperor. Anyone who can't get along with the emperor is destined to be cleaned up, and if you are not guilty, I will make you guilty, to see if your background can be a thunderous blow in front of the imperial power!
As for initiating impeachment? Joke. Now there are fewer people who participate in the impeachment of themselves, don't bite if you have more lice, don't worry if you have more debts, and are you afraid of having more Jiangnan families? Organize the people to storm the yamen? The shotgun in my hand is not a vegetarian! Besides, now is a sensitive period, and whoever dares to do this will immediately elevate this matter to the level of collusion with the Japanese Bandits, collusion with the White Lotus Sect, and conspiracy to rebel. At that time, no matter what famous family you are, it will be over!
Yan Hong summed up, at this time, he is fighting for a single. See it through yourself. In order to please the emperor, you can be shameless. That already has the upper hand. He said again: "This time, I copied Chen Dong and Ye Ma's lair. These wealthy businessmen jumped up and down like crazy, and I think this letter is not only from the Li family. After searching carefully, maybe some of their embarrassing objects will also fall into our hands, and since these wealthy businessmen are smuggling, Wang Zhi will also know some of their things if he wants to come. As long as we keep Wang Wufeng this time, these wealthy businessmen will become objects in our bags. Let him do whatever he wants, and I'm not afraid that they will dare to blow up the thorns again! The family, the wang family, the matter of the common widow is all over. ”
Yan Hong's eyebrows fluttered, and he was extremely arrogant, Hu Zongxian and others listened to it, and they also felt that one thing was reduced to one thing, and these local wealthy businessmen let this officialdom hooligan who didn't know what shame was to deal with. It's just right. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.
Yan Hong finished bragging. After taking a sip of tea, he turned his face to Xu Hai and Wang Cuiqiao, and said with a smile: "On the other hand, Hu Junmen won a big victory this time, beheaded countless people, and rewarded the honor, which is another expense." Since the brother-in-law copied the old camp of the two thieves, he must have obtained a lot of seizures, and the younger brother is cheeky here, and wants to ask his sister and brother-in-law for a loan for the use of the army. ”
Wang Cuiqiao scolded with a smile: "You guy, you know how to beat your sister and brother-in-law's autumn wind, but I don't know how much to borrow?" It's not easy for us to get this money, but don't be poor by you. ”
Xu Haihan said with a smile: "Qincha, don't listen to your sister's nonsense. You saved my life, so what is the money? As long as I take it out, I will serve the country, and there will be no two words. ”
Yan Hong looked at Hu Zongxian, but Hu Zongxian didn't know whether to open his mouth for a while. You must know that Xu Hai's identity is embarrassing, although the former Tianjia issued a decree to recruit An, and allowed him to recall the old ministry to serve the Tianjia, Xu Hai did make great contributions in this Ningbo War. However, after all, this guy has a heavy army and sits on the sea, as if he is already the number two person among the Japanese invaders, and he has also participated in the Zhoushan Conference of the Japanese Invaders, and continues to escort the smuggling merchants when the imperial court has not yet opened the sea. To say that he is a good citizen is a bit self-deceptive. At present, if it goes well, everything will naturally be fine, and Xu Hai is also a hero of the imperial court. But in case of an accident, Yan Fu turned his face and collected his money by himself, that is, he jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.
Therefore, from the perspective of his heart, Hu Zongxian does not want to have anything to do with Xu Hai and his wife, even now that the money is nervous, he also wants to solve the problem of reward by himself through pre-tax collection and other means, instead of opening his mouth to Xu Hai.
Xu Wenchang said at this time: "Now there is indeed some tension in the silver taels of rewards and gifts, and there is a gap of about 100,000 taels of silver. However, although this amount is large, it can still be solved with some fundraising. ”
Yan Hong said to Xu Hai: "In this way, the younger brother will be shy, stretch out his hand to his brother-in-law, and borrow 150,000 taels of silver to turn around." When he has surplus money in the court, he must return it. ”
In fact, it is said that Jiangnan is rich, especially the trend of extravagance is gradually rising, and rich businessmen need thousands of gold to eat a meal. With a total amount of more than 100,000 silver, it is really not difficult to raise and dispatch. Even Shi Gonggong's Hangzhou Weaving Bureau, hundreds of thousands of silver may not be able to raise. In addition, there are various means such as compilation and advance tax collection, and it is very easy to scrape the land slightly and make hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
But Yan Hong put on a face that was sure of Xu Hai, just to make him pay for it, and the reason for this was also because Xu Hai's power expanded too quickly, and now he has merged Chen and Ye Yubu and jumped to the number two in the Japanese Bandits. His pardon was sought by himself that day, and if he was held accountable, it would be a nuisance. Therefore, he wanted to borrow money in this way to describe Xu Hai's behavior as an anti-Japanese aid. As long as this is confirmed, it means that the position is firm, and as long as the position is okay, other issues are not a problem.
Moreover, he carried Wang Zhi's matter for Hu Zongxian, can't Lao Hu help him carry the pot together? Hu Zongxian received this money, he was dragged into the water and had a relationship with Xu Hai, who wants to say that Xu Hai is a widow, he must come forward to endorse Xu Hai, otherwise he will not be able to pick it up. This money, like the political donations of later generations, is aimed at forming an alliance of interests and helping each other. Lest the matter come to an end, you will desperately resist in front of you, you Lao Hu don't sprinkle water behind your back, then there will be nowhere to cry.
Because of this, Hu Zongxian was quite hesitant to receive this money. And for the same reason, Xu Wenchang made a decision and agreed on behalf of Hu Zongxian. Xu Wenchang naturally knew that if he didn't accept this money, he would actually not accept Yan Hong as an ally, which made Yan Hong feel reserved. At this juncture, Yan Hong is Hu Zongxian's only backer, and it is too worthless to be timid!
Wang Cuiqiao nodded and said: "You, there is nothing you can do, sooner or later, my sister and brother-in-law will be stripped of their family property by you, so I will go to Jingshi to beg for food." When she said this, it was tantamount to recognizing this account, and Xu Hai naturally had nothing to say.
Yan Hong said again: "Uncle Hu, when I go back, my sister-in-law will send the money, and I will also ask my uncle to make a receipt, and the younger brother will put it here, so as not to make the accounts unclear in the future." ”
Hu Zongxian said in his heart, Nima still has to collect the note, this is to tie me to the stove. He laughed dryly, but was kicked hard by Xu Wenchang, and hurriedly laughed: "It is natural to borrow debts and leave contracts, of course." However, Leader Xu, the finances of my Jiangnan army are not abundant, and when the time comes, I will only repay the principal, but I can't afford to give the money. The crowd laughed or laughed, real or false.
After finalizing this matter, Yan Hong said to Xu Hai again: "Sister-in-law, after today's dispersal, you will go to Zhoushan hard, and Mao Haifeng will not act rashly." Second, if possible, arrange for Mao Haifeng and me to meet once. Now that times have changed, there are some things that need to be said in person. ”
Xu Haidao: "At the place of this meeting, what are the instructions of the Qin Cha?" ”
Yan Hong waved his hand: "These, sister-in-law, you make the decision for me, can you still make my brother suffer a loss?" ”
Seeing Yan Hong's trust in public, Xu Hai was extremely grateful, and nodded: "Since Qin Cha can be trusted, Xu should do his best to serve his life." In my opinion, Mao Haifeng saw that Chen Dong, Ye Ma, and Xin Wulang were defeated, and he had already thought of Qincha's letter in his heart, and this meeting would most likely be successful. If Qin Cha can persuade Mao Haifeng to return to the imperial court, then the southeast will be peaceful. It's just that the old shipowner's side still has to be rescued by Qincha and Hu Lao Duxian. ”
Yan Hong said: "Of course. At this point, this secret meeting was basically completed, and everyone dispersed.
Yan Hong returned to the room, and Fang waited to laugh with Hua and Geng Ernu, but heard someone knock on the door. When I opened the door, it was Xu Wenchang standing outside the door. Yan Hong has always been respectful to this Mr. Qingteng, and hurriedly invited him into the room to talk, and saw that Mr. Xu had an extra brocade box in his arms, and he didn't know what was in it.
After entering the room, Yan Hong introduced the second daughter to Xu Wenchang, Xu Wenchang smiled and said: "Yan Gongzi is so blessed, this Taizhou did not run in vain, and it is a priceless treasure to get these two beauties." ”
Hua and Geng's second daughter blushed and wanted to retreat to the back room, Yan Hong said: "No need, you can bring tea and wait here, there is nothing to carry on your back." ”
Xu Wenchang said secretly: This Qincha does have a means to please women, and in such a sentence, the two women think that the Qincha treats them as people in the room, so naturally they have no other thoughts. He opened the brocade box and said to Yan Hong: "The Li family brothers' certificates of betrayal of the country are all among them, son, please take a look." ”
Yan Hong lowered his head and saw more than a dozen letters in the brocade box, and when he picked up the letters, a dazzling pearl was revealed underneath. It turned out that under the letters, there were all kinds of treasures, which were illuminated by the light, reflecting a piece of brilliance. Yan Hongyi pointed to those jewels and said, "Mr. Qingteng, this is also a certificate?" ”
Xu Wenchang's face was as usual: "Exactly." This is also a certificate, a certificate of the sincere friendship between my military family and my son. To tell the truth, now that Zhao Wenhua has fallen, my family's military gate has no help in the court, and the rich land in the southeast, this governor's throne has attracted countless people to covet it. However, although the Japanese have been injured, their wings are still there, and if they are replaced by an incompetent person, stealing from a high position, and blindly expropriating tyranny, I am afraid that it will stimulate the people to revolt and the resurgence of the Japanese bandits, it is not known. The military gate needs to sit in office for a few more years, sort out the clues everywhere, so that the four people can live, and the people will no longer take risks. (To be continued......)
